Chiropractic services aren’t just for people with general back pain. Those with headaches and migraines, scoliosis, sciatica, personal injuries or ones due to a sports or an auto-accident, pregnancy pain, or even those with sinusitis, allergies, and ear infections can benefit from a visit to their chiropractor, Dr. Timothy Wenneborg. A chiropractic examination is very similar to standard examination procedures administered by all health care providers, and a diversified spinal and Springfield spinal adjustment is one of the most widely used forms of adjustment in chiropractic care.

At Springfield Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Wenneborg will examine the structure and function of the spine and determine specific chiropractic treatments. If a Springfield spinal adjustment is recommended, your chiropractor will make a manual adjustment to correct misaligned or subluxated spinal segments of the neck or back. No instruments are needed in the adjusting procedure. This hands-on technique helps create motion in spinal joints with the goal of restoring structure and function. Adjustments will also be made to the joints not contained in the spine, such as the jaw, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, finger, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. These are referred to as extremity adjustments. Like the spine, these extremities develop joint dysfunction that can result in reduced motion, abnormal muscle tone, inflammation, scar tissue, and/or arthritic changes. Following a diversified spin and extremity adjustment, once motion has been restored to the joints, there is often reduced pain, relaxed muscles, reduced nerve interference, and a promotion of healing.

The treatment generally results in the popping sound as the chiropractor makes a manual adjustment to correct misaligned or subluxated spinal segments of the neck or back. This is most likely what you think of when you imagine a visit to your chiropractor. If you are experiencing back pain, which is the most common reason our patients seek our chiropractic care, an examination from Dr. Wenneborg could help reveal the underlying cause of your pain.
